title: Simultaneous fractures of the waist and tuberosity of the scaphoid.
abstract: We present a case of a double fracture of the scaphoid. A non-displaced transverse fracture of the waist was associated with a displaced fracture of the tuberosity in the same scaphoid. To our knowledge this combination in an acutely fractured scaphoid has been described in only six previous cases.
